Sigur Rós Are Selling Their Own Scented Candle That Smells Like Their Studio, "Instant Iceland"

Sigur Rós fans the world over may well agree that nothing suits the Icelandic act's evocative, slow-moving post-rock quite like a bunch of burning candles. Now, fittingly, the band is selling a custom Sigur Rós candle. It's called the "Varðeldur candle," named after a track from Valtari. Apparently, it smells like "driftwood campfire."

Here's how the band's website eloquently describes it:

The smoky, slightly briny smell of a flotsam campfire on a distant black beach under a wan midnight sun. And, most recently, the smell of Sigur Rós's studio, while they go about the quasi-mystical business of making the magic happen. Specially developed to the band's olfactory specifications, this candle burns for 35 evocative hours of "instant Iceland", or something like that.

The candle is going for $23.50, plus the cost of shipping from Shropshire, England.

The band has also announced that their upcoming U.S. tour dates will be supported by Tim Hecker and Oneohtrix Point Never. (Yes, that means Tim Hecker will perform at Madison Square Garden.) Opening their European tour will be Fuck Buttons offshoot Blanck Mass.
